Discuss the “delegate” and “trustee” models of representation.
In the Delegate model of representation, the constituents elect their representatives as delegates of their constituency. These delegates only act as the voice of the constituency and have no rights to vote for the actual representative of the state. In the Trustee model of representation, the people in a particular constituency choose their representative in parliament. The people entrust the person they choose with the duty of making important decisions on their behalf. The elected trustee has the duty of making decisions for the better interest of the people.
